Problems that Singapore should tackle (II)

Another problem that Singapore too faces is of the casino issue. A casino, the hot topic for many people, and is starting construction by the end of the year.

The casino. is a place where perhaps about 40% of the world population has gone to, and about 100% of the world have heard of. It is a place where money come and go. You may enter with only a few hundred bucks in your wallet and come out with millions, or vice versa. It is a place of risks, high risks. Where people have died over it, due to losing or even bankruptcy. Yet, even this, due to the chance, be it how small it is, people still go there. Hoping that in their hearts, that 1 day it will be them, it will them who will be walking out of the big double doors, as a rich man, crying their happiness out into the dark sky.

Casino causes family problems and other problems too. It have been known that about a high percentage of family breaking up is related to gambling. People borrowing from loan sharks, whom ended up in more then what they can handle, suicides when they reach the end of plank, where theres nowhere else to turn to.

These are the cons of casino, however, as everything as its pros and cons, it is inevitable that there is also benefits of the casino that I have not yet mentioned.

Benefits of the casino

• Will bring in income to Singapore
• Singaporeans will not have to go overseas to casinos ( rather spend in Singapore then overseas)
• Will attract tourists to Singapore

With this pros and cons, perhaps what Singapore can do is to think of ways, to prevent Singaporeans to be "casino- addicts" and prevent them from becoming the prey of this "evil".
